PREFACE 




The following compilation of the records embracing the 
several families of which I am a descendent, was commenced by 
me some years ago when my wife and daughter, and others of my 
family became interested in the patriotic society of the Sons 
and Daughters of the Revolution. After obtaining the necessarj 7 - 
data for them to become members of the Society, I became 
greatly interested in further investigation. 

I commenced with my father’s records and pursued it on 
to the present branch. 

Much of the following is traditional, but I feel sure it 
is as nearly correct as it can now be known after the lapse of 
so many years. 

I have verified the Coats of Arms of the Turners, Warders 
and Moreheads, having obtained the General Armory of England, 
Scotland, Ireland and Wales, comprising a registry of Armorial 
bearings from the earliest to the present time by Sir Bernard 
Burke, C. B. L. L. D., London, England, and find them correct 
as we have them. I also find the Elliotts, Morris and Pepers, 
that have been handed down to us traditionally agree with the 
Burke registry, above referred to. 

In conclusion, I have to state that I have published 
these records in book form for the information and pleasure of 
my grandchildren and all those of my relations, who desire to learn 
of their ancestry, felling sure the same will be appreciated 
by one and all of them. All the matter in reference to myself 
is intended parti /mlarly for my grandchildren.

PROM THE TIMES DISPATCH, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 
March 29th, 1908. 


MOREHEAD FAMILY 
(No. 234.) 

Perhaps no family of Virginia has become more wide- 
spread, North, South, East and West, all springing from the 
first emigrant to Virginia in 1630, than the Morehead family. 

The origin of the name is one of location, that is: "MoorAs 
Head," in England, and by dropping the middle letters easily 
assumes its present form, but they have been early located 
in Scotland, from whence the first emigrant, Charles Morehead, 
came and located in the Northern Neck of Virginia, about 1630, 
That they were men of affluence and connected with the peerage 
is shown by their coat of arms, as given below, and being quite 
significant in design, described as follows: "Argent, on a 
bend, azure, three acorns, or in chief a man’s heart, ppr. 
within a fetterlock, sable, the whole surrounded with an oak 
wreath, ppr. acorned, or Crest, two hands conjoined, grasping 
a two-handed sword, ppr. Motto — Auxilio Dei (By Divine Aid). 

Here is an escutcheon which will puzzle the student of 
heraldry to interpret, and yet it is said that it fully 
described the various characteristics of this family in their 
boldness and bravery and open-hearted aspirations for the cause 
of religion and civilization wherever they have been. 

There is little doubt that Charles Morehead was the 
first in the colony. Hening speaks of him in his eighth 
volume, and also gives his wife’s name as Jane. Yet little 
is known of his family, and not until 1767 do we find that 
a Captain Charles Morehead recorded as being in the Colonial 
Militia from Fauquier County, evidently a grandson of the first 
Charles (See Virginia Historical Magazine). The family seems 
to have settled early in Spotsylvania and Fauquier, as in the 
former County Captain Turner Mordiead enlisted and served in 
the Third Virginia Regiment in the fall of 1776, from Fauquier, 
which marched to Pennsylvania, joining the main army under 
General Marshall and thence to Brandywine. This Turner More- 
head left descendants in Fauquier, as is found among the Court 
records, but that there were few of the family then left in 
Virginia is, from the fact that after the Revolution Turner More- 
head moved to Kentucky, where the most of his children were 
married and rose to distinction in that State, One of his 
nephews, Charles Slaughter Morehead, became Governor of the 
State; was also a member of Congress. James Turner Morehead, 
another nephew, was in the United States Senate from that 
State, was also Governor, and was a brilliant lawyer. General 
S. B. Buckner, a grandson was Governor of Kentucky. John 
Motley Morehead, another of the Northern Neck descendants, 
moved to North Carolina, where by his legal ability he was 
elected Governor in 1845, and was President of the Old National 
Whig Convention, which nominated General Zachary Taylor for the 
President of the United States in 1848. His brother, James 
Turner Morehead, was a member of Congress from North Carolina. 

RECORD OF CHARLES R. MOREHEAD, SENIOR 
OF LEXINGTON, MISSOURI. 

My great-great-grandfather, Charles Morehead, emigrated 
from Scotland and settled in the Northern Neck of Virginia 
about the year 1630. Of the descendants of the first Charles

Morehead, I only knew the name of John. My grandfather, 

Charles Morehead was the oldest son of John Morehead, who 
lived in Fauquier County, Virginia. He married Miss Mary 
Turner of Spotsylvania County, Virginia, who was the daughter 
of James Turner and his wife Kerenhappuck Norman Turner. 

The children of John Morehead will be found later on 
in the Records of Fauquier County, Virginia. 

I knew all my uncles and aunts on my father's side, 
except my uncle James, Mrs. Clark, and Mrs. Ransdell. Mrs. 

Clark died leaving no children. Mrs. Ransdell died in Virginia, 
also her husband, leaving two children, Charles and Wharton. 

After the Revolutionary War my grandmother, Mary Turner 
Morehead, and all her children, then living, except my father, 
Mrs. Clark and her two grandchildren migrated to Kentucky in 
1807. Mrs. Donaldson was the only child then married, who 
migrated. My father remained in Virginia until 1811. 

The migrating party embarked at Brownsville, Pennsylvania, 
(Then called Redstone) on a flat bottomed boat. A Capt. Brisco 
commanding. They descended the Monongahela to Pittsburg and 
the Ohio to the Falls (Now Louisville, Ky.) from thence to 
Bardstown, Nelson County, Kentucky. Here my grandmother died, 
subsequently the surviving members of the family moved to 
Southern Kentucky, then called the Green River country and 
settled in what is now Warren and Logan Counties. The whole 
country south of Green River was then Logan County and Russel- 
ville, the County-seat. My uncle Armistead was the first clerk 
of the Courts of that county, in which capacity he served many 
years* 


When my father moved to Kentucky in 1811, his two sisters, 
Mrs. Donaldson and Mrs* Briggs, were living in Warren County and 
his three brothers, Charles, Armistead and Presley were living 
in Logan County. My father after remaining in Bowling Green 
one year settled in Barron County, Kentucky, where he died 
February 23rd, 1820. 

Much of what I state regarding the migration of the 
family from Virginia to Kentucky was gathered from my beloved 
Aunt Kerenhappuck Donaldson, with whom I boarded several years, 
when a storeboy at Bowling Green. She was a model woman of her 
day, beloved and respected not only by connections, but by all 
who knew her, the same may be said of her sister, Mrs. Elizabeth 
Briggs. They were both idolized by all the connections. 

Charles Morehead, the second, married a Miss Mary Norman 
of Spotsylvania County, Virginia. The names of their children 
as follows: 


1st. Turner 

5th. 

Armistead 

2nd. Mary 

6th. 

James 

3rd. Charles

Turner Morehead was born on the seventh day of January, 
1757 and married his first wife, Ann Ransdale on the seventh 
of June, 1779. She was born on the second of August, 1756. 

The date of her death I do not know. Turner Morehead died on 
his farm in Barron County, Kentucky. He was a soldier of the 
Revolution during the greater part of the war, most of the time 
a Captain. He bore several scars received in the battles dur- 
ing the war. He was a farmer most of his life and was in addi- 
tion pretty largely engaged in milling, in both of which occu- 
pations he prospered. He was remarkable for his morality and

conscientiousness. Was hospitable and kind to all with whomjp he 
came in contact, was very popular with his friends and neighbors, 
altho\igh very firm and decided in his opinions. 

Mary Morehead was born July 15th, 1759. She was married to 
Wharton Ransdell in Virginia and died there, 

Charles Morehead, the third, was born February 3rd, 1762. 

He married a Miss Slaughter of Culpeper County, Virginia, and 
raised a large family, all daughters, except one, (Charles S. 
Morehead, Ex. Gov. of Kentucky). He was a farmer, a man highly 
respected, having served his country in the Legislature of 
Kentucky, frequently in both the House and the Senate. He and 
his wife both died in Logan County, Kentucky. He also was a 
soldier in Lee's Legion, "Light Horse Harry's Brigade." Was at 
the surrender of Cornwallis, as I have heard from himself and 
my father. 


Kerenhappuck Morehead was born September 10th, 1764. She 
married Daniel Donaldson, who died in Bowling Green, Kentucky, 
about the year of 1816, leaving her a widow with considerable 
family. She died March 27th, 1835. 


Armistead Morehead was born June 4th, 1767. He married a 
Miss Latham. He was the father of James T. Morehead, once 
Governor of Kentucky and subsequently United States Senator from 
that State. He was a large portion of his life engaged in mer- 
cantile pursuits besides being clerk for many years of the Court 
of Logan County, Kentucky. He was also in the latter part of 
his life cashier of two separate banks in Bov/ling Green, Kentucky. 


James Morehead was born July 27th, 1771. He wan r.wrlea 
died in Nelson County, Kentucky. 

Presley Morehead was born November 25th, 1775. He married 
a Miss Duncan and raised a large family. He was a farmer and 
represented the county of Logan in the State Senate of Kentucky 
several times. 

Elizabeth Morehead was born November 19tfr, 1773. She 
married Thompson Briggs, a farmer and a much respected man in his 
day. He died leaving her a widow with a large family of children, 
mostly grown. He died in Warren County, Kentucky. She also died 
in the same county. 

Of my grandmothers, Mary Turner Morehead* s family I have 
never known personally, but one of the name, who was a connection, 
he was a Dr. Turner of Columbia, Tenn. 


Before my father's removal from Virginia, I remember he 
visited North Carolina to see his connections. I have heard him 
often speak of the Turners, Sanfords, Smiths and Morehead con- 
nections in that State. He and others of the family often spoke 
in most kind and affectionate terms of an uncle of theirs named 
James Turner. He seemed to be a great favorite of the family. 
His son, James Turner, moved from North Carolina, at an early 
date and settled in Tennessee on Duck River, which is now in 
Murray County. My father visited that County after his removal 
to Kentucky expressly to see his connections. After that visit 
I often heard him speak of this James Turner, Joseph Morehead, 
James Smith and James Sanford.

THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXTRACT FROM A IETTER. 

Mumf ordville, Kentucky, 

17th July, 1910. 


n Mr. C. R. Morehead, 

El Paso, Texas. 

Dear Cousin: 

In reading General Buckner’s letters to him while at West 
Point, in 1840, he says: ’If war comes I desire you to act the 
soldier and emulate the example of your grandfather. Turner More* 
hoad, who was the first to mount the parapets in the storming of 
Stoney Point under General Wayne.’ 

Very truly, 

Mrs. Delia C. Buckner." 

The Louisville Courier Journal, of date December 11, 1911, 
in an article headed "Past Mistresses of Kentucky’s Executive 
Mansion," states of Mrs. Delia Claiborne Buckner, wife of General 
S. B. Buckner as follows: 

"When Mrs. Buckner succeeded Mrs. Knott so gradual was the 
change in the affairs at the mansion that Governor Buckner often 
declared that he could not tell where Governor Knott's adminis- 
tration ended and his began. 

"Mrs. Delia Claiborne Buckner was the descendant of William 
Claiborne, who came to Virginia in 1619, as Surveyor General with 
Governor Yeardly. He was Secretary of the Colony for thirty years, 
Councilor, Treasurer for life and Acting Governor. She was also 
a grandniece of both General Washington and his wife. She was 
one of the most cultured and queenly women who ever occupied the 
exalted position of Mistress of the Mansion, the charm of her 
presence being almost irresistable 

THE HOOE FAMILY « 

My mother, Mary Ann Hewitt Hooe, was the daughter of Harris 
Hooe, Sr., of Stafford County, Virginia. She had four brothers 
and two sisters, that I remember to have seen and known, or heard 
her speak of. Harris, James, Robert, Francis and Martha. These 
I have seen, except Harris, the other sister was older than herself 
her name I do hot remember. She married a lawyer Buchanaan of 
Falmouth, Virginia, and died before my recollection. A son of 
hers, Dr. Wm. Buchannan lived in Falmouth when my father removed 
to Kentucky.

Robert Hooe, lived on his father’s old place, called 
"Evergreen" three miles from Falmouth, Virginia. His wife was a 
Fauntleroy. They had a large family. He died in Alexandria, 
Virginia. 

James Hooe married a Miss Hooe. 

Harris and Francis died unmarried. 

Martha Hooe married Charles M. Ransdell of Kentucky. They 
both died in Bowling Green, Kentucky. They loft two sons, named 
Charles and Burnard. 

The records of King George County, Virginia, show that 
Mary Ann Hooe, the wife of Turner Morehead, was the daughter of 
Harris Hooe, Harris Hooe was the son of Hawson Hooe, who was the 
son of Rice Hooe, and his wife Cathor5.no Taliaferro. Rice Hooe 
was a member of the House of Burgesses in the year of 1699, accordir, 
to the Virginia Historical Magazine of April, 1908. 

The following is taken from William and Mary Magazine: 

"The first of the family in Virginia was Robert Taliaferro, 
gentleman, who first resided in York County, Virginia. Ho had 
a grant of land in Gloucester County, in 1655, and in the document 
his name is written "Toliver 1 *. # # •» " 

The following is tho correspondence that passed between Mr. 
Wythe and Mr. Jefferson on the origin of the family. Mr. Wythe’s 
inter ost in the matter was due to tho fact that his wife at the 
time, was Elizabeth Taliaferro, daughter of Col. Richard Taliaferro, 
of James City County. 


G. W. TO T. J. 

"I wish to get the arms of Taliaferro, which, from informa- 
tion, I believe to have boon the Tuscan family, engraved on a 
23 copper plato, with this motto: or a o k e » *v ^'/iPl5 ro 2 aaa 
and the name of Richard Taliaferro, But I would not have this 
done, if it can not be without giving you trouble, nor unless you 
will order to whom horo I shall repay the cost. Perhaps tho 
motto taken from Aeschylus (INSERT GREEK Upper and L4 would be 

sufficient without . If you think so, leave out that 

word. Adieu. 10 Jan. 1786. Williamsburgh, " 

T. J. TO W. G. 

"Immediately on receipt of your letter I wrote to a corres- 
pondent at Florence to onquiro after the family of Taliaferro as 
you desired. I received his answer two days ago, a copy of which 
I now enclose. Tho original shall bo sent by some other occasion. 
I will have the copper-plate immediately ongnaved. This may bo 
ready within a few days, but the probability is that I shall bo 
long in getting an opportunity of sending it to you, as these 
rarely occur. You do not mention tho size of the plato, but pre- 
sume it is intonded for labels for the inside of books, I shall 

have it made of proper sizo for that. I shall omit tho word 

according to the license you allow me, because I think the beauty 
of a motto is, to condense such matter in as few words as possible 
the word omitted will be supplied by every reader * * * . Paris, 
August 13, 1786."

MOREHEAD, SR.

James A. Morehead died on the third of March, 1880. 

C. R, Morehead, Sr., died on the fifth day of November, 

1880. 

William Morehead joined Captain J. R, Hendlay’ s Company, 

Ray County, Missouri Mounted Volunteers, July, 1846, at the age of 
seventeen years. 


In a letter written by Captain Hendlay to his father, C. R. 
Morehead, dated Counsel Grove, Kansas, twenty-sixth of August, 1846 
he states, “William’s horse stands the trip so far very well. He 
takes great care of his horse. He is well and does his duty like 
a man. I find the young men the most tractable and I think they 
will make fine soldiers." 

Captain Hendlay was killed at the battle of Moro, New 
Mexico. His remains were brought back to Richmond by his Company 
and buried there. William’s horse was shot and killed at that 
battle, which put him on foot for a time. 


Later in a letter from Captain William Jacobs, who suc- 
ceeded Capt. Hendlay, dated Santa Fe, New Mexico, tenth of 
October, 1846, to C. R. Morehead, Sr*, he states as follows; 
"William stands the trip and climate first-rate. He has never 
missed a single roll call and has had perfect health. All the 
time he has done more service up to this date than any member of 
the Company. He is always well and willing to do his duty." 

William started to California in 1850 and together with Mr. 
John Benson, who was a partner of his father in the merchantile 
business in Lexington, Missouri.? bought and started with a drove 
of mules to California, which were at that time in groat demand 
in California. Mr. Benson, himself and others in the party took 
the cholera and died at Fort Barnard near Fort Laramie, on the 
fourth day of May, 1850. 

The following is a h tter written by the Past Grand Master

FAMILY RECORD OP 
CHARLES R. MOREHEAD, JR.

and Fanny Warder, his wife, was born on the twenty-eighth day 
of February, 1836, at Richmond, Missouri. Lcmira Morris Morehead, 
wife of Charles R. Morehead, Jr., was born on the fourteenth day 
of October, 1837, at May stick, Ky. 

The children of Charles R. Morehead, Jr., and Lemira Morris 
Morehead are as follows: 

Ida Morehead was born on the fifth day of November, 1859. 

Fanny Morehead was born on the twentv-third day of .March, 

1863. 

William Morris Morehoad was born on the fourth day of Februar 
1865 and died on that day. 

Fanny Morehead died on the second day of September, 1864. 

Ida Morehead died on the twenty- sixth day of November, 1898. 

Lemire Morris Morehead died on the twenty-fifth of June, 

1910. 

The following is an extract from the El Paso "Times" of 
Tuesday, June 28, 1910. 

"All of the El Paso banks closed at two o’clock yesterday 
afternoon out of respect for Mrs. Lemire Morris Morehead, whose 
funeral took place at Santa Monica, California, yesterday at that 
hour • 

"The deceased had many warm friends and admirers in El Paso, 
who were deeply painod to read in the Times yesterday morning of 
the announcement of her death. She was a lovab&o woman. 

"Mrs. Morehead* s maidon name was Lemire Morris. She was 
born in Kentucky and was the daughter of one of that State's 
oldest and most cultured families. As a girl she iras bright, 
pretty and charming. Brought up in the Baptist church, she was 
a consistent Christian member of that church throughout life. 

"In the sprhg of 1881, C. R. Morehead brought his young 
wife and their daughter, Ida, to El Paso. They came over the 
Santa Fe railroad as far as Rincon, from which poins they made the 
rest of the trip to El Paso on the stage. At that oimo there were 
no desirable residence houses in El Paso for rent and the hotel 
accommodations were very unsatisfactory so Mr. Morehead and Mrs. 
Morehead and their daughter, lived with Judge Joseph Magoffin* s 
family for three years. During those three years a 3trong friend- 
ship grew up between Mrs. Magoffin and Mrs. Morehead and until 
the former died several years ago, they were as intimate as sister 

"Mrs. Morehead was very fond of her friends and found her 
chief happiness in their happiness and prosperity. Her heart was 
filled with that Christian charity that can always find excuses 
for the weak and can find virtue where others can find only the 
bad. She was a devoted wife and a tender, loving mother, who was 
worshipped by her grandchildren, whose little hurts disappeared 
at her gentle touch or the sound of her tender voice. 

"Like her husband, Mrs. Morehead found pleasure in doing a 
great deal of quiet charity work, which no one except herself, 
her husband and the beneficiary of her kindness know anything 
about. While very fond of the company of her friends, Mrs. More- 
head was inclined to oschew social gaities preferring to spend he: 
evenings at her home fire-3ide with her husband and occasionally 
three or four friends*" 

Mrs. Lemire Morris Morehead came from the old Now England 
family of Morrises, several of whom were prominent patriots in 
the R c volutionary War.

GENEALOGICAL COLUMN 

Richmond, V a.J Sunday, May 3rd, 1908. 


TURNER FAMILY 
(No. 239) 

The Turnor family of Virginia being allied to the Turners 
of Massachusetts, that it is clearly evident the families are 
from the same source in England, and therefore produce their 
arms, as given by Burke, who says the family bearing these arms 
were of "Thcrvoston," County Devon; Humphry Turner, Esq., of 
Thorvoston, wa3 forty-six years old at the Visitation of the 
Heralds In 1620, when arms were conferred. Ho was son of Anthony 
Turner, and grandson of Anthony Turner, both of the same place. 
Captain William Turner of Boston, Mass., who commanded an expedi- 
tion against the Indiuns in 1676, brought the arms over in 1673] 
he died bravoly at the head of his men at the crossing of the 
Green River during a bloody conflict. The arms, as given by 
Burk, are quarterly, as the Turners had allied with noble family 
of Page, of Blackheath, County Kent, and therefore partook of 
their arms, but we hero give only the arms of Turner proper; 
being a shield sable, a chevroon ermine, between three fcrs de 
moline, or: on a chief, arg. A lion passant, gules. 

CREST -- A lion passant, gule, holding in the dexter paw 
a laurel branch, vert. Motto., Esso Quam Videri, (To be, not to 
seem. ) 


From the Norther family was James Turner, one of the 
earliest settlors in Maryland, and from him were the Turners 
of Southhampton, Va., one of whom, also James, born December 
20th, 1766, moved to North Carolina, about 1800 and became 
Governor of the State. The wife of the first #ames Turner, of 
Maryland, Mrs. Kerenhappucl: Turner, wa3 the noted heroine of 
the battle of Guilford Courthouse, whore she risked her life in 
ministering to the wounded and dying of General Greene’s army. 
From that union wero many of the bravest sons and daughters of 
North Carolina. One of their daughters, Elizabeth Turner, 
married Joseph Morehead of Virginia, who was the ancestor of 
Governor John M. Morehead of North Carolina and his brother James 
Turner Morehead was a member of Congress from the same State. 
Another daughtor, Mary Turnor, married a brother of Joseph, 

Charlus Morehead, whoso descendants moved to Kentucky. James 
Turner Morehead, a son of Armistead Morehead was Governor and 
later U, S. Senator of Kentucky. His cousin, Charles S. Morohead, 
a son Charlos Morehead, was a member of Congress and also Gover- 
nor of Kentucky. Another brother of Armistoad and Charles 
Colonel Turner Morehead, a revolutionary hero, had a grandson. 
General S. B. Buckner, who was Governor of Kentucky. 

There wore many Turners In Lower Counties of Virginia who 
bore an active part in the councils of the colony, and who served 
in the militia. John Turnor of Southhampton, was in the Indian 
wars, 1750; his son, William, of James City County, died in 1809, 
leaving many brothers and sisters, among whom was Thomas and Jo&n 
of Mathews County, 1791. 

The family has also boon well represented in the Church. 

The Rev. Josoph Wilmar Turnor, of Georgia, v/hoso death has been 
recently announced, was born of the Virginia family, and officiate 
with groat acceptance in many Southern States. Also the Rev* 
James H. Turner, who was born in Franklin County, 1841, son of 
John and James (Wright ) Turner, after solving with Stuart gallant 
ly during the Confederate War, entered the ministry in the 
Lutherville, Md. Church, and is still serving tho Church at

Among tho many Turnor3 of Richmond, was a Mr. Davidfs, 

Turner, from tho North, who sottlcd and oporutod a classical 
school previous to tho war. Ho was a most practical and enter- 
taining teacher, not only to his pupils, but to. many of his friends 
and patrons, by giving thorn entertaining lectures on chemistry, 
philosophy and other sciences. His pupils were among some of the 
most prominont citizens of the present day who owe thoir talents 
to the gonius of "Old David Turnor" in his little school on Main 
Street, but the Civil War drove tho good old pedagogue back to 
his people in tho North, though ho took a Virginia girl as a wife 
with him.

The above gives a statement of all the children and grand- 
children of my grandfather Smith, who married Sarah Turner, the 
daughter of James and Koren Happuch Turner, from whence the rela- 
tionship to the Morohoad family originated. 

Susan Turner, the daughter of James Turner and Keren 
Ilappuch Turner, married a Mr. Sanford. I know nothing of the number 
of their families. 

I now givo an account of the Norman family, as near as I 
know. I have seen some of them. Mr. Jones married a sister of my 
groat grandmother, Keren Happuch, whoso maidon name was Norman. 

One of those Jones lived in Washington County, Virginia, who had 
many sons and daughters, one of whom, as I have stated, married a 
Miss Carthell, and there are several now in Illinois, of the sons 
of this Mr. Jones. Thoso^f Jones, i.o., the older ones, all claim 
to be first cousins to the Moreheads, Turner, t> m ith, Sandfords, 
etc., by the Norman side of the family. There was also a Mr. 

Delaney living in East Tennessee in 1803 who claimed the same 
relationship Q3 tho Jonos did, on the Norman side. My aunt Ward, 
as moved from North Carolina to Tennessee, spent twelve months with 
these Jones and Delaneys. She was taken sick and stopped with 
those relatives. Hhr bnether, Benjamin took her negroes to Tennes- 
see. She was moving out with him. She retained one woman and a 
man to wait on her while at Mr. Jones, and as my father was to 
move to Tennessee, she wrote that she would stay with her relatives 
until he came on, which she did, and as we moved out I saw these 
families of Jones and Delaneys, Morehead relatives.

WARDER FAMILY 


Sketch of the Coat of Arms of the Warders, of Westbury, 
Wiltshire, County of Plants, Clayford and Hampshire in Wales and 
England. Though the same clan the name is spoiled Warder, Wardour 
and War dor. 

Arms granted to Sir Chidorde Warder, who was cousin and heir 
of John Warder of Westbury in County of Wiltshire, A. D. 1585, by 
Robert Cook (Clarenciuex) . See Book of Heraldy by John Cuiliam, 
Pursavant at Arms, London, England, 1742. The arms thus described 

Sir Chidorke Warder bears th arms sable, on cheveron, between 
three talbots heads, erased, argent, three Fleur-dis-lis , of the 
field sable, all within a border, ingr ailed, silver. The crest a 
Fleur-dis-lis, argent, encircled with a ducal crown, gold on a 
wreath black and silver. (This wreath was usually made of leather 
and silk and v/orn around the Sir Kmight's head to protect it from 
the weight of the helmet mantling, represents the knight's mantle, 
which all the knights wore, and the arabesque drawing around the 
shield, represents the mantle v/hen in the fury of battle, would 
become hacked and torn by battle ax and spear, wearing around in 
this style these mantles, like the old battle flags, being doubly 
prized for their many holes and tatters. Thus mutely proving the 
gallantry and bravery of each Sir Knight.) 

The talbots were a very fine breed of English hunting dogs, 
found frequently ip. heraldry and noted for their keenness of scent 
The motto on the ribbon of black and silver "Industrie et Spe!" 
meaning, "With Industry and Hope." Very often the war cry as a 
clan would charge Into battle, was preserved on their arms as its 
mot to. 


The old Warder Castle is still standing in Wales, a silent 
monument to this ancient clan, with the Warder arms on its massive 
doors. I find in my many researches for this family, this castle 
was given to one by the name of Warder by some king. I again find 
where Henry the Third, Baron of Arundel of Wardour. This nobleman 
was one of the persons committed to prison upon information of 
Titus Oates and suffered five years imprisonment, and on abdiction 
of James Second, this lord retired to Beatmore, Wiltshier. He was 
keeper of the Privy Seal and honored of the Bath. Lord Arundel of 
Wardour Castle kept a pack of celebrated hounds, one hundred and 
sixty-nine in number, which afterwards went to Lord Castlehaven 
and were sold to Hugo Maynell and became; the progenitors of the 
famous Quorn pack. 

See about Warders in Edmonstan's Book of Heraldry, Vol. 
Second, Berry's Encyclopedia Ileraldria, Vol. Second, Burkes’ Gener 
Armory, Fairbarnes Crest. 

These were the arms brought over by Sir Phillip Warder, the 
first of this clan to come from London, England to Maryland. He 
married a Miss Fairfax and had two sons, Joseph and Walter. 

Joseph Warder married Ester Ford, supposed from Charles Coun 
Md., and moved to Virginia. Their children were : 

John Warder. Married Ann Elliott. 

Mary Warder. Married Zacliery Quesenberry. 

Nancy Warder. Married Alexander Evans. 

Elizabeth Warder. Married Clement Hitch. 

Sal lie Warder. Married Robert Richie. 

Judith Warder. Married Hayden Trigg. 

Ester Warder. Married Wm. Calloway. 

Joseph Warder. Married Fannie Elliott. 

William Warder. Married Margaret Mor ahead* 

Walter Warder. Married Mary Maddox. 

Henry Warder. Marriod Louisa Page. 

Baltimore, March 27, 1912.

PEPPER FAMILY 
From "The Pilot" Laffnn 


Tho Popors of Ireland are of Anglo -N rman at ok, J ha 
D’Altn traces them book to the period f the inv .si n. In the 
ranks of tho followers f Richard do 01. -.ire, Earl f Pembr >0 and 
Striguc, nicknamed, like his father bef ■ ro him, Str ago y, wore 
representatives . f the Pippards or Peppers f Lev n shire, England. 

Camden, and in ur wn times, Doan Butler, credit a William 

Poppard, Pipard, cr Peppor, with the erocti'n f the riginal 
castle cf Trim, C: , Meath. It was rebuilt in the thirteenth 
century. Sir Richard C’.lt He are, in his t ur in Ireland, describe 
the decaying structure as the only edifice in the c untry w rthy 

of the name f castle. In an historical p int f vipw, it is no 

of tho most important buildings in Ireland. It "pr ves f great 
utility tc tho general interest cf the Pale, t which the 
influence f the English was for many ages c- nfined." Several- 
of the Anglo-Irish parliaments met there, "Lurliy. the intestine 
wars f the seventeenth century" it was repeatedly the scene f 
important actions. It was dismantled soon after tho year 165®; 
and it has ever since remained in a state f pr .go salvo decay. 


Those Pippards or Poppers wore somewhat fam us in Angl - 
Irish annals as founders r f castles, monasteries’, etc., especially 
in the near Ardoo, Co. Louth, of which Roger do Pipard ■ btninod 
a grant s ,:n after tho invasion. Ralph de Pipard surrendered 
tho man-r to Edward I. A grant of it was made by Edward II. to 
Sir J-hn Birmingham, subsequently created Earl of Louth, Tho 
Pipards, descendants of Roger, wore long kn wn a a L-rd» f Ardee, 
cr Athirdeo.

1675 to 1530 .

and Elizabeth Cowperthwaite, married Bavid Mor cl s m Kjjsbox 
N ow Jersey, They moved to Mason County, Kentucky in 1788 , 


John and jasper Shotwell and David Morris were Revolutionary 
soldiers from N*w Jorsoy, as the records of that Star* show. 

David Morris was barn December 19th, 1746 an® died, in 179®, 
married Mary, daughter of John and Anna Shotwell, D*cesio®r 26th, 
175 S , they had oight children:

William Van Herne Morris, horn February 5th, 1792, 

Mary Morris. * * 


Ail except the three youngest, Jasper, William and Mary we.ro 
born in New Jersey and they wore hern in Mason County, Kentucky. 

In the spring of 1783, David. Morris and wife, Mary Shotwell, 
tegethor with John Shotwoll and wife moved from Essex County, New 
Jersey, to Kentucky, settled In May* Lick, Mason County. May’ Lick 
was so called from a salt spring ©r lick, where the wild animals 
were wont to come and lick for salt, and from May, who had obtained 
a large grant of land extending from the "blue Lick Springs” to the 
Ohio river. 

Extract from an oration delivered at the Centennial Celebra- 
tion of the Mayslick Baptist Church, October 19th, 1589. 

"In the spring of 1783 five (5) families, three brothers., 
Abraham, Cornelius and Isaac Drake and two brother s-in-luw, John 
Shotwoll and David Morris, both of whom wer >■ related to th® Drakes 
by marriage, were induced by the glowing ©ascription of th* Rev. 

Wm. Weed, pastor of the Baptist Church at Washington, Kentucky, to 
leave their old homo in Essox County, Now Jarsey and seek their 
fortunes in the wilds of Kentucky. All of them had been in the 
Revolutionary War and wore inured, to hardships. 

In company with the famous Joh Grand, who was then meving 
his all from the City of New York to Kentucky, with their wives, 
children and effects, came down tho Ohio river as far as Limes ten a 
(now Maysviila) whore thoy landed and proceeded at once to Washing- 
ton four miles distant, * *- # 


In the early fall they bought from Mr. May a tract of land 
containing fourteen hundred acres of great beauty and fertility, 
oight miles west of Washington ©n the "old Buffalo Trail," then 
the great thorough!* arc of tho State, now tho beautiful Maysville 
and Loxington Turnpike, 

They made an oquitabl* division of their land according tc 
the amount of money each had put in the common stock and in such a 
manner that tho 1st of each had a corner in a salt spring. (Those 
salt or blackish springs were callow, "licks" and were resorted to 
by wild animals, hence the name.) Around this common spring they 
built their log-hewn houses close enough to protect one another in 
case of attacks from the Indians then maliciously prevalent; and 
from the name of land and from the spring, they called the incipia. 
vail age Mays +ji ck. 


All of thes^ first settlers 
of them by profession.

Before coming worst they w© re members o *.h© r a fhurch 
of Scotch Plains , Essex County, Now Jersey, th*n unde :• the care o" 
Rov . William Van Horn. The church at Scotch Plain-; ha a been in- 
stituted in 1745, chiefly of Welsh Baptists. r.untei e ' chin she a 
in various parts of the country were constituted of member n ©in 
this community, of Welsh Baptist, among ethane the First Church, of 
New York. 


Before leaving New Jersey, David Morrio, Co melius Drake and- 
Lydia, his wife, John Shotwell with his motlnv, Ann Shetwoll, and 
his wife Abigial Shipman, received letters of dismission from their 
church. John Shotwell and wife united with the church at Washington 
Kentucky during their temporary stay. The others waited ana were 
organized into a particular Baptist chucch at La?; slick, November 
2&, 17B9. Bros. V fa. Wood, of Washington, Kentucky and Jamea Garrard 
afterwards for two terms Governor, were the officiating mini -3te.ro 
upon that occasion. 

Only four members, David Morris, CprneliUf and Lydia Brake 
and Ann Shotwell went into the organization. John ShJ.twe.il, who war 
perhaps the strongest man of the new settlement, did ©t join until 
1791. 

The articles of faith are few but comprehensive. 

The church was doubtless constituted in David Morris barn, 
in which afterwards they often met for worship and soon after united 
with tho Elk Horn association. The church was built in 1792 on 
John Shotwoll’s land, Warder Monument now is supposed to occupy 
the site. Dr. David Drake in his Pioneer Life of Kentucky, gives a 
delightful and vivid picture of Sunday morning at this rude sanctu- 
ary. 


"The scene around this village tomple can never fade from my 
membr.y or my heart. 

"Horses hitched along the fence and men and women on foot or 
horse-back arriving from all quarters; within the enclosure neigh- 
bors shaking hands and enquiring about each others’ families; a 
little group leaning against the fence in conversation; another 
seated on a bench, "talking it over"; another little party strellins 
among the graves; and squads of children sitting or lying on tho 
grass to rest themselves. 

"The hour for worship arrives, the congregation wore seated 
around and within the cabin church, on benches without backs, and 
there stood Deacon David Morris, a short, broad, grave and fleshy 
man of fifty, boneath the pulpit giving put the humnn, while Old 
Hundred, by twice as many voices was mingled with the neter; of 
. birds in the surrounding trees." 

David Morris, Cornelius Drake, John Shotwell and Win. Allen, 
the four leading members for many years, who gave direction and 
tone to the church, were men in jbhaise of whom it would be difficu] ’ 
to say too much. Dr. Drake gave us a pen picture ©f David Morris. 

"He was the first deacon and usually conducted the services 
in the absence of a minister." He died in 1799. 

Cornelius Drake was a man of serious mind and of exemplary 
piety. He died in 1533. 


John Shotwell was of a more rounded character than either 
of the others, general elected Moderator when prest, and his voice 
had great weight in or out of the church. Slow to accopt positions 
of responsibility, he never failed to fill them with humility and 
dignity. His services to tho Church, both spiritually and finan- 
cially were very great. He died in 1U26. 


Win. Allen, forty years a deacon of whom the church in 1802 
put on record "Her high opinion of him as being as near tho charac- 
ter of a doacon as wc could expect in this imporfect state, # *■ 

Went home in lS3d. 

David Morris sorved as a private in Daptain Bonjamin Lang’s 
Company, First Regiment, Essex County, New Jersey Militia, during 
the Revolutionary War. This is takon from the Record,-; of the St at 
© f New Jorsov.

"The Leavenworth Times" of April 8th, 1868 
Results of Yesterday*,'’. Municipal Fight 
The Democracy Triumphant 

We go to press at f.ur o’clock a.m. Swing to the great diffir 
ulty in counting votes it is impossible to present an accurate table 
of results. 

The First Ward gives Morohead a large majority for mayor, and 
also a majority of about sevonty-for Shugi'uo for Marshal. 

The see ;nd Ward also gives Morohead a large majority and the 
vote on Marshal is exceedingly close with a slight preponderance in 
favor of Shugrue for Marshal. 

Thu Third Ward goes Republican by a majority ranging from 
seventy-five to one hundred and fifty. Mr. Robertson obtains a 
great majority. 

The F urth Ward gives Morchead a tremendous majority, and adds 
immensely to Shugrue’ s vote for Marshal. 

To sum up the entire result, we can state briefly that the 
Democracy have carried every candidate, with the single exception of 
City Treasurer. 

However much we may regret this result, and however earnestly 
we may have striven to secure a different issue, we take pleasure in 
stating that we sincerely believe that the Hon. Ch.s. R. Morchead 
as the mayor of Leavenworth for the next two years, will labor 
honestly and faithfully for the best interests of Leavenworth and 
that no effort will be lacking on his part to promote every material 
interest associated with the progress and prosperity of the city. 

Wo ar^ further gratified to state that, during this canvass 
we have never allowed ourselves to become so greatly excited as to 
forgot the dictates of c 'Urtesy that should animate and inspire all 
political controversies. 

The only exception to the success of the Democratic candidates 
is in the case of Captain Wm. Tholen, tho Democratic nominee for 
Treasurer. He is beaten by a large majority and the success of his 
antagonist, Mr. Keohlcr, is the only crumb of comfort we have left 
to encourage us. Small as it i we accept it gratefully and trust 
it may be sufficient to leaven the whole lump. 

The result of the election cannot bo otherwise than peculiarly 
gratifying to the Hon. C. R. Morchead. Ho has never been known as 
a politician. He is a young man and entirely inexperienced in poll 
tical management. *nd yet he carried Leavenworth by a majority 
almost unparalleled.

? 

This tribute to hie character is one of which h* should bo, 
truly proud, and now, th.-t the smoke of battle has uplifted, we cor 
dially extend to him, although his political antagonists the right 
hand of fellowship. vVe do this in all honor and candor. Ho do it 
in the faith thi.t his every effort will bo to promote the interests 
of Leavenworth. 

Mr. Morehoad is a man above reproach. His private character 
is spotless, ^jnong tho business men of the West he stands the peer 
of any. ri a a citizen and a gentleman vo know of none more universe 
respected and beloved. 

The work he has to perform is most grave. 0n his efforts 
much of the future success of Leavenworth depends. Ho believe him 
capable. We knew him to be h .nest and we have faith that, through 
his earnest and patriotic efforts .ur city will increase in wealth 
and prosperity, and that hi 3 administration will bo recognized 
through tho future a3 one from which Leavenworth commenced her car- 
eer of greatness and renown. 

Influenced alone by these considerations and conviction, we 
extend to Mr. Morehcad a truly faithful friendship, and pledge him 
our hearty support and endorsement. He has good reason to be proud 
of the support he received yesterday from the citizens of Leaven- 
worth without distinction of party. and we feel asurod that any 
popular confidence is not misplaced when bobtowod upon such an 
honorable citizen, true patriot, successful merchant and honorable 
gentlemen as C. R. Morchead. 

El Paso Moaning Times, Saturday, October 16, 1909. 

EDUCATION IS HOBBY OP CH*S. MOREHEA* 


PRESIDENT OP THE STATE NATIONAL Bi.NK 


Mr. Morehoad Has Always Pleaded for More Schools and Better 
Schools in El Paso. 


Chas. R. Morehead, president of the’ State National Bank, came 
to El Paso in the early part of 1881, and at once took steps to giv 
El Paso hor first banking institution--the State National bank. He 
organized the bank and opened it for business in April, 1881, and 
has been at the head of that solid institution ever since. 

Mr. Morehead is a native of Missouri. He is a man of forcefu 
character, strong individuality and a born leader of mean. For 
twenty years he was the dominating influence in the business and 
political career of the twwn. He is and has always boon a staunch 
advocate of honest government, fair taxation and civic improvement. 

For Education 

Education is one of Mr. Morehead’ s hobbies. Ho believes 
education to be the most essential foundation for good government. 
Education, he says, begets sclfrclianco, breeds self-respect and 
gives dignity to citizenship, eliminating at the same time the coa 2 ' 
ser and more brutal instincts of humanity. 

After getting his bank well under way Mr. Morehead turned hi. 
attention to building up a first class public school system, and he 
laid tho foundation for El Paso’s present splendid public school 
system. Ho gave fifteen years Jf constant study and work to the 
schools. ”More schools and better schools” has been his constant 
pleading. For years he was the whole school administration and h" 
v/orkod at it day and night. 

Loves Children. 

Mr. Morehead loves children and quietly, without the knowled? 
of any man, he has clothed and educated scores of littlo orphans i v 
this city. Frequently when parents were unable to buy books for 
their children Mr. Morehoad has bought and p..id for such books jus 
to got the little ones in^o school.

Help for Orphans 

* * <. 

Just Mr. Morehead* 3 opinion of education as a civilizer, 
moral educator and enemy to crime is scon in following statement 
published in ‘The Times some five years ago: "indeed, it wuuid be 
the best investment as well as a groat blessing if a law could be 
passed that would compel every county in the state, as they became: 
sufficiently populated, to issue bonds for the erection of orphans' 
homos, just as bonds are issued for court h uses, and such homes 
should be maintained by taxation for uuch purpose. In short, th* 
orphans’ home should be made a part of our public school system, so 
that the school trustees could compel the inmates of the homes to 
attend the public schools. Our system will never tee complete with- 
out some such care for orphans and the children of the helpless." 

Gave Us Mo 3a Water 

Mr. Morehead was again and again importuned to run for mayor, 
but he consented to servo only one term and during that term ho per- 
formed a servioo for the people of El Paso that should forever com- 
mand their gratifude. It was due to his efforts alone that El Paso 
is now getting as fine drinking water as can be obtained in the 
west. ii strong fight was mado to permit th* water company to go to 
the river for its water supply. Put Mayor Morclr.ad refused to lis- 
ton to any such proposition. 

"There is plenty of pure water on the m»sa; the company&s 
franchise provides for a supply of mesa water and we must have it," 
was Mr. Morehead* s reply. The water company has confirmed his 
judgment Try deciding jfchat there is an abundant supply of water on th 
mesa. 


Closed Vicious Dance Hall 

mother good reform inaugurated by Mr. Morehead while mayor 
was the closing of the vicious public dance hallo which were cor- 
rupting the boys of the town. 

His Work for El Paso 

As a private citizen Mr. Morehead led the movement which re- 
sulted in the building f largor military fort for El Paso. He was 
instrumental in securing the appropriation of a big federal build- 
ing for El Paso and he worked in and out of season for the construc- 
tion of an international dam just abovo El Paso. Indood, it would 
take more spuco than can be spared to this article to enumerate the 
public sorvices Mr. Morehead has rendered this community. 

Has Mado History. 

Ho has been a city builder in every jpenoe of the word. Thoro 
arc successful business h uses in El Paso today that owe their ex- 
istence' to the aid rendered them by Mr. Morehead at critical periods 
in their existence. His bank has always been the friend and backe: 
of the young man just trying to establish himself. He has boon one 
of El Paso's most valuable citizens and he has placed the impress 
of his personality upon invery pago of the town's history.
